Some of the Hamilton School Kindergarten had an extra surprise while on a trip to Famous Barr to see Santa Claus and the Christmas Fantasy Land. After seeing Santa Claus, the children waited for their bus by one of the entrances. It happened to be by a vending machine that was not working properly. The children began to hear money dropping. They picked up several big handfuls of coins and gave them to their teacher. She returned them to the woman in the Eagle Stamp cage nearby.
